It fits perfectly to my wood hoop and prevent it from scratching even moreI don't crank up all the way on the pedal board so it won't smash my wood hoop, and also, not noticed anything different about the slippery, This can be explained by the fact that I use Iron Cobra pedals and they're non slippery at all, also I have my rug at all times, so not a necessary adition to meDoes it's job, flawless.Also, don't use duct tape on your wood hoops, after a while the glue will stick all over it and will ruin that part of the hoopps. also it's a great mark to always know wich part of the hoop you're using to put the pedal on, it's hardly a exceptional feature but it's good to have a bright red point in my hoop so I can identify just by looking at it what position to put the hoop

This really is nothing more than a small Tama sticker. First off, the size doesn't cover what the typical kick pedal will bite the hoop. Next, this is soooo thin it won't provide any extra grip for your pedal. It doesn't do much of anything. One would be better off using duct tape instead.
